can you share a bit more details please, which platform, which version of QuarkXPress are you using, maybe provide the steps (what is getting pixelated, the border? the content?) and maybe provide a screenshot?

Hi Matthias, I'm have 2016 running in windows 7, I was importing many different bar codes in different formats, pdf, jpeg, bitmap and so on making a master file then copy to a new page so a direct plate to press could be tested for quality of the bar code. I have one logo, a picture and a couple of solid boxes that now are pixelated after copy and paste but prints fine from the masrer. I'm a beginner and may have had two much going on for my skill level hope you can help. Thanks Donald
